'The Color Of Noise' May Actually Get You Off Of the Couch And To The Theater

Check out a new clip with Today is the Day

I don't know about you, but I have a list about a mile long of movies I need to see. My Netflix queue is basically a graveyard of films that I probably should watch, but haven't, but maybe I will eventually. Also, I get to the cinema approximately 23% of the time that I actually want to. But every once in a while though, a movie gets me fired up enough to devote an evening away from shows/the bar and to the movie theater. One of those movies is The Color of Noise by Eric Robel and Michael Dimmitt.

Chronicling the rise of legendary noise-rock/alternative label Amphetamine Reptile, The Color of Noise is the story of founder/madman Tom Hazelmeyer and the bands that be helped shepherd in the 80s/90s. Those bands, with names like Helmet, Melvins, Hammerhead, Cows, Today is the Day and more, helped define a sound for the era, paving the path for a whole new genre of music and influencing millions in the process. Check out the trailer below, as well as a sneak peek clip that appears exclusively at Noisey and highlights Today is the Day's landmark LP Willpower.

For those in the Nashville, Tennessee area on May 30th, you should probably catch the world premiere at Third Man. Flyer and details are below.
